Medical detectives fearing a new salmonella outbreak widened their investigation of possibly tainted milk to a second dairy after a family suffered food poisoning, health officials said in Chicago. Health officals had been investigating Bluebrook and Hillfarm brand milk produced at the Jewel Cos. Inc. dairy in Melrose Park, Ill., as the source of the outbreak. The investigation spread to a Deans Food Co. dairy in Harvard, Ill., when a family of four became ill after drinking Hillfarm milk that originated there. Nearly 3,000 cases of food poisoning and three deaths have been reported in five states.
